WINTER RACING CARNIVAL AT TRENTHAM.

The list of entries received on Friday evening last by Mr. A. E. Whyte, secretary of the Wellington Racing Club, for the three days’ winter carnival to be held at Trentham on July 8, 10 and 12, are distinctly encouraging, and must constitute a record for this particular time of the year. The leading event, the Wellington Steeplechase, has attracted

20 nominations, included among the number being Master Lupin, Waimai, Troublesome, Bon Reve, Coalition, Master Strowan, while the names of Cynic, Foeman and Diavolo are also to be found among the 20 entered for this three and a-quarter miles cross - country event. Twenty - two horses figure in the list of entries for the Winter Hurdles (two miles), Euripos, Cynic, Calma, Thrace, Multive and Jeannot being some of the recent winners of note nominated for this event. The Parliamentary Handicap (one mile and a-quarter) has drawn the excellent entry of 30, so that there is plenty of material available to ensure a good field in the principal flat race of the opening day. The entries for the leading events on the second and third days are highly satisfactory, and there is every prospect of the fields in these jumping races being of better calibre than in previous years. The South Island is not very strongly represented in the steeplechases, Vascular being the main hope, but with Euripos (provided he has fully recovered from his mishap), Jeannot and Calma as representatives in the hurdle contests the trio will prove formidable if sent north.
